For Sale: Chevy Camaro, No Engine or Transmission, $55,000

The limited-edition Camaro rolling chassis for racing comes only in summit white and has to be outfitted by the buyer.

Call it, “bring your own drivetrain.”

In a move to further establish its presence in drag racing, Chevrolet said it will begin selling a limited number of Camaro National Hot Rod Association-certified rolling chassis designed for the strip.

Each chassis comes with a roll cage and other safety equipment, a solid rear axle, brakes, Bogart racing wheels and Hoosier tires. Buyers will have to supply an engine, cooling and exhaust systems, electronics and wiring harness, transmission, driveshaft and other parts to get the car race-ready.

The price for each numbered, hand-assembled chassis is $55,000. They go on sale this Thursday.

“This is a great opportunity to buy a factory-built foundation for a competitive Camaro race car, saving racers the time of building their own from the ground up and offering them the opportunity to compete with a piece of Chevrolet history, because we’re only going to build a few of them,” said Jim Campbell, vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports for General Motors Co.

Of course the car maker hopes customers will shop in its own Chevrolet Performance catalog for the parts needed to complete the vehicles.

Buyers have to arrange to pick up their completed rolling chassis in the Detroit area. The cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and will not be legal for road use.
